How Much I Care About You

The door slid open as Bob walked out of the department store, a small paper bag in his hand. It was getting late and he was bored out of his mind. He had spent his entire day walking around town and nothing came out of it anyway. He let out a big sigh just as a gray mouse approached him.

"Hey Samson," Bob greeted him in a tired voice.

"Yo Bob," Samson replied ", I was wonderin' if you'd seen Mitzi. No one seems to know where she is and it's getting late."

"I haven't seen her sorry," Bob answered, a hint of nervousness in his voice ", Come to think of it I haven't seen her all day."

"Alright, thanks dude," Samson waved ", Peace out."

"See ya," Bob waved back but his mind was set on Mitzi. He didn't even notice that he hadn't seen her at all today. He was a bit worried about his feline friend but, it couldn't be too hard to find her in a small town like this could it?

He spent what seemed like hours trying to find her when suddenly he saw a blue striped tail sticking out from behind a tree.

"Mitzi?" he called out to her.

"Eep! Go away!" she threw a rock in his general direction without looking narrowly missing Bob's head.

"Hey, hey! Easy there!" he tried to calm her ", It's just me, Bob!"

"B-Bob?" she repeated ", I'm sorry, just please don't come over here."

"Why?"

"Just hold on a sec 'kay?"

Bob waited a few seconds until Mitzi came out wearing a paper bag with eyeholes on her head.

"Y-yes?"

"Mitzi! Everyone's been looking for you all day! We've all been really worried and…" he paused "…why are you wearing a bag on your head?"

"I-I was shaking a tree to get something that was stuck in it and…"

"There were bees right?"

"Yeah…I look hideous!" she was half crying.

"Oh come on, I got stung by bees hundreds of times. It couldn't be that bad. Now take that bag off."

"No! People will laugh at me or think I'm ugly!"

"Mitzi…"

"You promise you won't laugh?"

"Promise."

"Really?"

"Mitzi, I'm your best friend why would I lie to you?" there was a few seconds of silence ", Really Mitzi I promise now take off the bag."

"Okay…"

Mitzi hesitated then reluctantly pulled the bag off her head. Sure enough there were several swollen sting marks on her face.

"See! I'm ugly!"

"That's not that bad, I can take care of it," he smiled reaching into his little paper bag ", When I went to Nookingtons a little while ago I bought some medicine for myself just in case I get stung again, but you can use it instead."

"Really? Oh thankyou!" Mitzi took the medicine.

"It works remarkably fast so if not tonight, then by tomorrow it'll all clear up." Sure enough it was already starting to work.

"Wow! I can't believe that something that cheapskate Nook sells would work that well!"

They both laughed at her little joke. The two walked around and made sure everyone knew Mitzi was fine and talked along the way. They sat down at the beach , there were almost no clouds in the sky so you could see all the stars brightly shining dotting the sky. They sat in silence for a few moments.

"Bob?"

"Yeah?"

"Thanks," Mitzi blushed ", that was really kind of you to offer me your medicine and not laugh at me and everything. I mean that medicine does cost four hundred bells."

"D-don't worry about it," Bob blushed too ", four hundred bells isn't that much heh heh."

There was another moment of silence.

"Did you read the bulletin board?" Mitzi asked "It says we're having a beach party tomorrow at ten thirty in the morning. Are you going to come?"

"Yeah sure," Bob replied ", I'll go, 'specially if there's free food, ha ha!"

"You eat too much and your gonna get fat," Mitzi giggled.

"What can I say? I love food," Bob shrugged.

Mitzi thought for a second. "Speaking of food, there's a cherry tree over there. I'll go pick some for us to share 'kay?"

"Sure. I am hungry."

Mitzi stood up and walked over to the cherry tree. Bob stared out at the ocean; the sound of the waves hitting the sandy beach calmed him. There was a cool night breeze that felt nice as it blew past. Just as he was relaxed he heard a scream coming from behind him. Instantly he jumped up and ran over to where Mitzi was standing.

Sitting there on the ground in front of her was a big red scorpion. It made strange hissing noises showing that it was agitated. Mitzi was frozen stiff and dared not move for feat that it would come after her. Bob jumped in front of her though.

"Stupid scorpions! Don't worry I'll get it!" Bob reached to grab his bug net hoping to catch it but he forgot that he didn't bring it with him ", Crap forgot my…"

"Look out!" Mitzi screamed. At that point Bob looked down to see the scorpion at his feet, stinger already stuck in his leg. It quickly pulled his stinger out and ran off.

"Bob are you alright?" Mitzi asked nervously.

"I-I dunno," Bob spoke, but his speech was slurred. He was getting light headed and dizzy. His legs trembled as he tried to keep his balance. He wasn't sure what Mitzi was saying to him as there was a loud ringing in his ears then suddenly everything went black.
